43 year old Volkswagen bus.
This bus is being sold to be restored, so there will be various repairs needed. Mainly, though I do not claim to be listing all needed repairs here:
Has a few rusty spots.
Windshield is cracked, but has been treated to minimize spread.
The interior has been stripped, seats need upholstering, floors, panels, etc need refinishing.
Has a few wiring issues that all arose at the exact same time so they are likely related, I simply don't have the time to follow wires. (e.g. the right tail light/turn signal does not work properly and when activated, the fuel gauge drops until disengaged, etc.).
Cylinder 3 has noticable wear.
The rear main seal leaks oil when driven at highway speeds.
Mileage unknown. It tracks accurately, but I have no idea how many times the odometer has spun over.
I am the second owner (I've had it since 07/2011) and I have the original owner's maintenace and repair receipts as well as the original sales slip. My bus has gotten me everywhere I've asked it to take me, but it needs someone with a little more time than I have to invest. Currently being driven on a regular basis (i.e. it runs).
This is a 43 year old vehicle, so there may very well be issues needing to be addressed that aren't listed here, but there is nothing more major THAT I AM AWARE OF.
By bidding on this vehicle, you are agreeing to purchase the vehicle AS IS. I've described honestly. I would personally buy this vehicle without hesitation had I more time to work on it.
Questions are gladly received and answered as promptly as possible given my varying schedule. Anything specific you'd like to know about? . . .I can go out and investigate and give you my best answer: just ask.

UAW angered over VW workers getting right to defend anti-union vote
Thu, 13 Mar 2014The United Auto Workers have called a decision by the National Labor Relations Board allowing anti-UAW employees at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga the right to defend voting down unionization at the plant "an outrage."
You'll recall that the union was defeated by a vote of 712 to 626 in a contentious February election. The UAW claims the outcome was unfairly swayed by pro-business, anti-union forces, including Senator Bob Corker and political advocate Grover Norquist.
This new decision by the NLRB essentially gives workers backed by the anti-UAW National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation and Southern Momentum a formal voice in the impending hearing on the UAW's appeal of the vote.
VW Golf Sportsvan succeeds Golf Plus in Frankfurt
Sun, 08 Sep 2013
Just ahead of this week's Frankfurt Motor Show, Volkswagen has announced the world premiere of its Golf Sportsvan, a near-production concept that succeeds its Golf Plus. VW describes this compact family car as "one of the most versatile vehicles of the compact class," noting that it offers a mix of hatchback and minivan features in a sporty package.
That sportiness comes from the Sportsvan's styling (perhaps more sleek wagon than minivan) and performance features it shares with the Golf GTI - including the XDS+ electronic differential lock, which is integrated into the Electronic Stability Control system to improve agility. At the same time, the Sportsvan's six engine options, which include a turbodiesel, are up to 19-percent more fuel-efficient than their predecessors.
VW Super Bowl teaser with Jimmy Cliff is like a less-mean Tosh.0 Web Redemption
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Reggae super-duper-star and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jimmy Cliff has been using music to send positive vibes out into the universe for decades now, so its no surprise that his message on behalf of Volkswagen is one of redemption.
Dubbed Sunny Side, this web-spot is VW's warmup of sorts for what promises to be another blockbuster year in the world of Super Bowl commercials. Without giving away the game, the euphonious commercial sees Cliff opening his arms and his heart to some YouTube 'celebrities' that might see courser treatment from the likes of Tosh.0, for instance. We can't help but be reminded of Coca-Cola's legendary 1971 Hilltop spot with the "I'd like to buy the world a Coke" lyric, too.
Enjoy the pre-Super Bowl VW spot below, and don't forget to pay it forward... your karma will thank you. For those of you that just can't get enough of commercial-making magic, we've included a "making-of" video, as well.
